Sign into Scratch and find at least five projects you think are great or are very interesting. As you go through the projects, you can favorite (star) or love (heart) the one you like the best. Favorite the ones you think you might want to share because those are the ones you’ll be able to find later.

After you favorite five, you can choose your top three to write about. You’ll embed the projects into your post and then write about the project and why you like it so much.

Make a Scratch Project

Animate Me

Use the iPad app AbcYa Animate to create a story or show a process. You can animate a scene in a book you like, bring to life a scientific process (the food chain or a life cycle) or make your own story.

If you don’t know how to use the app, this video will show you how to get started:

Make an End-of-Year E-book

Get an iPad, open up the Book Creator app and write about some of your favorite people during this school year. You can include classmates, teachers and other staff members you want to remember. When you’ve finished writing the text, check with your teacher to find out the best time to get the pictures you need.

Oh no! You’ve forgotten your Scratch username!! What are you going to do?

Don’t panic! Assuming you published one of your previous Scratch projects on your blog – aren’t you really glad you did that now – you can find out your username without too much trouble. Watch the video to find out how.

Step Three – Add a Character and Have It Say Your Five Sentences

We’re going to make our About Me project in an application called Scratch. If you haven’t heard of Scratch, it’s a versatile program you can use to create games, simulations and art, but we’re going to use it to tell a story.

Don’t think you have to watch the whole video all the way through. I recommend you watch a couple of minutes of the video, switch to your Scratch project and do what you can, and then go back to the video.
